CALENDAR OF
THE CORRESPONDENCE OF

COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE CONTINENTAL ARMY
WITH THE CONTINENTAL CONGRESS
PREPARED FROM THE ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPTS
IN THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS BY JOHN C.
FITZPATRICK. DIVISION OF MANUSCRIPTS

PREFATORY NOTE
Under an Executive order of March 9, 1903, the Washington Papers
were transferred from the Department of State to the Library of
Congress. Long as the manuscripts had been in the possession of the
Government, no list of the letters of Washington had ever been so much
as attempted; and the letters written to him had been but imperfectly
listed by Jared Sparks when engaged in preparing his "Writings of
George Washington" first published in 1833-37. The great size and
historical importance of the collection demand a closer study, and a
series of calendars generally descriptive of its contents. The first of
these calendars deals only with the correspondence between the Gen-
eral and the Continental Congress.
The segregation in the Library of Congress of other collections
oflfered an unusual opportunity to make the calendar complete so far
as concerned the materials for the period covered. So that while the
Washington Papers forms the basis of the calendar, related material
is drawn from other sources, wherever the original is found in the
Library of Congress. The various sources are the Washington Papers,
the papers of the Continental Congress, and the papers of Robert
Morris.
I. THE WASHINGTON PAPERS.
The arrangement of the Washington Papers is peculiar, and was due
to the ingenuity of Jared Sparks. They are divided into two great
series. The letters from and the letters to the General; and the let-
ters from him during the Revolutionar\^ War are subdivided into sub-
series as follows:
A. Letters to the President, Committees, and individual members
of the Continental (Congress.
B. Letters and orders to officers of the Continental Army.
C. Letters to the Governors and other civil officers of the States.
D. Letters to foreign ministers, officers or individuals.
E. Letters to officers in the service of the British Crown.
F. Records of the Councils of War and opinions of the general
officers on military' affairs.
P. Private letters.

6 PREFATORY NOTE
Before this division, which appears to have been due to the secreta-
ries and aids of the General, had been perfected, copies of letters were
kept in books irrespective of a distribution according to addressee.
Four volumes of such letters exist and the contents have been drawn
upon as needed for this calendar.
The entire contents of Series A appear in this calendar as well as
such letters and papers in the other series as were pertinent to the
purpose. These letters are the first drafts, either in the writing of
Washington or his aids, and are, for the most part, not signed. As
the idea and not the language of the letter, when written by an aid,
was Washington's, some effort has been made to identify the writer of
the draft. The success is greater than was anticipated, and it is for
the first time possible to measure the confidence reposed in his aids
by the Commander-in-chief. It was a surprise to find some drafts or
copies in the writing of Martha Washington; it was quite as surprising
to learn the great number of papers in the writing of Alexander
Hamilton, John Laurens and Tench Tilghman. It is still more sur-
prising to find elaborate drafts entirely in the writing of Washington
himself, and often prepared in the most critical periods of the war.
As a general and useful guide to the writers of these drafts a list of
those seiTing as aids and secretaries to Washington, with a page of
their writing, is added (p. 9). Outside of Series A a few letters have
been drawn from Series P, and from the four combined volumes.
Of these two series there exist transcripts prepared by Richard Varick
in 1781-3. A few missing originals have been made good from these
transcripts.
The Letters to Washington, comprising 117 volumes, form the second
great source of materials listed in this calendar. Some attempt had
been made by Mr. Sparks to bind in separate volumes what papers
had been received from the Continental Congress; but the attempt was
imperfectl}' planned and very imperfectly carried into effect. The
result has been that not only were those Congress volumes calendared
(Vols. 89-98) but the entire collection has been examined for papers
that had been misplaced.
II. PAPERS OF THE CONTINENTAL CONGRESS.
The third great source of papers were the Papers of the Continental
Congress. A rough list of these papers was prepared when Peter
Force was compiling the "American Archives,'' but it is a list useless
for historical purposes, conveying no idea of the contents of the differ-
ent papers or of the relations of one to another. Crudely planned, it
was still more crudely prepared, and it is impossible to trace even the
location of a single letter and the response made, or of a single paper
and its enclosures. The letters of Washington to the Congress fill
PREFATORY NOTE /
eleven volumes, and transcripts were made of them in nine volumes
under the direction of the Secretary, Charles Thomson. This serits,
undoubtedly the finest series of Wai^hingtou letters in existence, con-
tains many holographs of Washington, and many written by his aids,
with a large number of enclosures relating to civil and military affairs.
The writer of the body of the papers has in each ca^e been identified,
so far as was possible. The letter books of the Presidents of Congress
(those of John Hancock are not in the collection), and the Dispatch and
Committee books gave much additional material. Of high importance
was the series of reports of committees of Congress on letters of Wash-
ington. The letter books of Robert Morris, while Superintendent of
Finance, were searched and whatever was written to W^ashington was
inserted in this calendar.
In the preparation of so extensive a list certain details were omitted
which might seem of importance. The same letter may exist in four
forms: 1, the draft; 2, the Varick transcript of the draft; 3, the letter
sent to the President, and 4, the Thomson transcript of this letter. It
has not been thought necessary to mention the letter in more than one
of its forms. Should a closer study of a letter be desirable the inves-
tigator can easily learn whether the other forms are in the Library.
Series A, of the drafts forms the basis of the list, and is the more
interesting as being the form of paper nearest to headquarters and
while in process of composition. The changes and additions clearly
show this process. The dates of replies to letters are noted in the
calendar wherever they are to be found endorsed on the original
letter (an asterisk [*] denotes that the reply is in the Library of Con-
gress); but no attempt had been made to insert such information when
not so noted as the chronological arrangement of this calendar readily
lends itself to the uses of the investigator. The number of pages
occupied by a paper in a book of transcripts is not given, as the infor-
mation would convey no true conception of the length of the original
I>aper.
While it would be useful to indicate where each document could be
found in print (if it has been printed), the task would be greater than
the value of the results. References have been confined to the Sparks
and the Ford editions of the " Writings of W^ashington,'' and to the
''•Journals of the Continental Congress."
The true first document of the calendar is Washington's paper read
in Congress June 16, 1775, accepting the command of the Continental
army. The last document was properly the resignation of his com-
mission in 1783. Two entries of 1784 were added to complete the
story of incidents occurring before the resignation; and one of 1789,
announcing the election of Washington to the Presidency under the
Federal Constitution, fittingly closed his connection with the Conti-
nental Congress, and marked his re-entrance into public life under the
8 PREFATORY NOTE
new political conditions which put an end to the existence of that
revolutionary, but then almost powerless, le^slative body.
It would be useless to undertake to summarize the nature of this
collection or to dwell upon its importance to history and biography.
It is enough to say that it is unique, most notable and of imperishable
interest, embodying the history of the Revolution and the acts of the
leading men of that time.
The calendar has been prepared by Mr. John C. Fitzpatrick, of the
Division of Manuscripts.
